Parking Day
On the 17th of September the Swanbury Penglase team ‘set up camp’ in a parking space on Gouger Street to join many other design practices in Adelaide’s first Parking Day event. Parking day is an annual, global even that began in San Francisco and is now celebrated in 21 countries. The aim of the event is to encourage everyday citizens to consider the role they play in their local urban environment, and the importance of urban public spaces. SPA transformed a metered parking space into a lush lawn complete with trees, music and a bbq, challenging the conventional ideas for renting a parking space by transforming the carpark into a positive public space. SPA won second place in the People’s Awards for the effort! For more information about Parking Day [click here]
